The World May Become 4 Degrees Hotter by 2100

Softpedia: According to the conclusions of a new scientific study, the global climate is far more sensitive to the effects of global warming than previously estimated. The research suggests that average global temperatures may increase 4 degrees Celsius by 2100, and 8 degrees Celsius by 2200. This scenario is almost sure to occur if our species does not stop releasing the vast amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide it does today. The new investigative report also sheds more light on the role of clouds in...
Hotter summers mean more health risks in urban heat islands

OPB: On hot summer days, 74-year-old HelenRuth Stephens doesn`t dare leave her apartment. Not to get the mail or take out the trash. "You don`t do it because you`ll be breathless by the time you get back," she says. She suffers from asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Both affect her lungs. Hot weather drains her energy, she says, and makes it hard for her to breathe. Stephens is the type of person public health officials worry about as they`re preparing for climate change. That`s...

Less Ice Means a Much Hotter Earth By 2100
2013-08-05 15:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The Arctic is intricately linked to Earth`s climate. As Arctic sea ice declines, the effects are being felt far beyond the Arctic region. Now a new study shows how losing sea ice means the top of the planet is absorbing more heat than it did just three decades ago--and it makes for a sobering read. Scientists have noticed big changes in the Arctic since satellites started observing earth from space, thirty years ago. The area covered by sea ice is getting smaller and the ice is getting thinner,...
Study: Climate change makes people hotter and angrier

MSNBC: A new study published in Science Magazine points to a correlation between rising temperatures triggered by climate change and increased aggressive behavior in humans. Energy and environmental correspondent with the National Journal, Coral Davenport, says that climate change is an issue that the Pentagon and the CIA characterize as a threat multiplier for violence, conflict, and even for war. Situations of political, economic, and ethnic unrest can be exacerbated by extreme drought, water...

Study: Hotter Temperatures Lead to Hotter Tempers

Associated Press: As the world gets warmer, people are more likely to get hot under the collar, scientists say. A massive new study finds that aggressive acts like committing violent crimes and waging war become more likely with each added degree. Researchers analyzed 60 studies on historic empire collapses, recent wars, violent crime rates in the United States, lab simulations that tested police decisions on when to shoot and even cases where pitchers threw deliberately at batters in baseball. They found a common...
